(about the past)   Scream and tear Tears on the floor Glass is shattered Punches thrown Blood is splattered I'm all alone   Empty promises from your tongue

Dear 13-year-old Juliana,  Things will get better. Slowly but surely, you will discover that have anxiety, Which explains why you are the way you are.
Ezra E. Ohly 165 East Street Wellington, Oh 44090   Dear past self, I wish you the best for what is to come.

  Eyes closed Light vanishes and I suddenly Become a target to my past
Torn and Broken Holes and Stains A lost wheel, A missing stitch Time moves on Some forget , Some do not  We used once..... everyday, all day, all the time Now in dust, to rot and rust
Raw

There are many times I have wished to go back, to change the past. Should’ve said this, Should’ve done that. The list goes on and on… But this is not a movie, And I don’t have a time machine.  
My mind of youth, days of past so confused so deluded. Unknown grounds rocky roads, departed souls. Entwined in a world of poisonus minds, Life's trap door tryna fade the pain..The pain of life, life's pain plan.
The dim yellow beam of the flash light carves a path through the clutter of old tools and antiques
One day, We'll wake up and realise, For that last 3 generations, We haven't been living Not really There isn't even a pattern Any more No one wants to work No one wants to live
